Question

Which of the following letter-clusters should replace # and % so that the pattern and relationship followed between the letter-cluster pair on the left side of :: is the same as that on the right side of :: ?
# : RWU :: KPN : %

The correct answer is
# = SXV , % = JOM

Logic: Each letter shifts by +1, +2, +3 respectively.

For, KPN → ?
⇒ K +1 → L
⇒ P +2 → R
⇒ N +3 → Q
⇒ KPN → LRQ

Now, apply reverse to find # from RWU:
⇒ R −1 → Q
⇒ W −2 → U
⇒ U −3 → R
⇒ # = QUR

Now, check options for matching pattern:

SXV → RWU (−1, −2, −3) 
and 

JOM → KPN (+1, +2, +3) 

Here, pattern matches perfectly.
